Making a connection when everything is connected

Something for the Weekend (1)

Maturestudenthanginginthere is hosting a virtual creative writing class for the next few Saturdays. With an accelerated heartbeat, I’m participating. I love poetry but rarely share what I have written. For the next few Saturdays, I will share. If you’re here for my usual witty (humor me) posts, you’ll have to wait for another day.

Enough rambling. Here is my first assignment and first ever published poem.

great. the emotions in this piece work brilliantly, as i almost followed the same pattern as the people in the writing-for the first pair, i read with interest, but no emotion. Then when the woman sees the painting, the words weave the scene perfectly and my emotion followed the same path as hers. When a poem can do that, you know its special. thank you.

I love this poem! It is so beautiful and so sentimental. I know how hard it can be to share your personal writing with the world. It takes a lot of bravery and courage but am so glad that you posted about this. It’s lovely.

Thank you. So many great artist and their works were not appreciated in their lifetimes. I wonder if they somehow knew someday the right person would see that work. You know, as a writer, no matter how great you feel something is, it won’t speak to everyone.
You comment was thought provoking. Thanks.

Thank you for reading. I was at Parent’s Day at my daughter’s school yesterday. Sorry it took me a while to approve your comment but I read it on my phone and I was flattered. I’m excited about coming up with something for next week!
